UNITED STATES ANDREW J. KEDNEY, OF AYER, MASSACHUSETTS.

PIANO-STOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321.113, dated June 30, 1885.

Application filed May 23, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may vconcern.-

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. KEDNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ayer, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Piano-Stoolsyand I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide a construction for pedestals for piano-stools, center-tables, chairs, &c., whereby the feet or legs can be more securely attached to the center-post than heretofore, and also at the same time render it possible to easily disconnect such legs from the center-postand from each other, in order that they may be more compactly arranged for transportation.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the centerpost, A, and the feet or legs B BB", the lower end of the center-post being in section. Fig. 2 is a top view of the feet when joined together by the annular retainingring E, the center-post being omitted, but its position shown by the dotted circle A.

It will be observed that each leg has a neck or upward extension, D D D having in hori zontal cross-section the form of a sector, as shown in Fig. 2, so that when grouped together they combine to form a circular centerpin, which is inclosed by the annular ring E. This ring is made of wrought-iron, and when driven to its place holds the legs firmly together. The center-post A is centrally bored at its lower end to receive the circular center pin formed by the necks D D D and ring F,

and is supported in its position by the pro jections O G 0 which may be extended upward to any desired height, and attached to the 40 and grooves, and the necks are thus securely interlocked and all end motion prevented.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim is- 1. The center-post A, combined with three or more supportinglegs having projecting sector-shaped necks, and an annular retaining-ring encircling said projecting necks, substantially as described.

2.-The center-post A, centrally bored at its lower end, the supporting-legs B B B provided with the upward supporting-extensions G O O", and having the projecting necks D D D", and the annular retaining-ring E, combined and arranged substantially as set forth.

3. The center-post A, combined with three or more supporting-legs having interlocking splines and grooves, and provided with projectingsectorshaped necks, and an annular retaining-ring encircling such projecting necks, substantially as set forth.
